In your menu.lst file, add a line like "default 0", where zero indicates 
which listing should be booted by default, starting from zero.  So if 
you had

title Linux
root (hd0)
kernel /vmlinuz

title Linux Single User
root(hdo)
kernel /vmlinuz single

Setting "default 0" would choose "Linux" as the default, setting it to 1 
whould choose the Single User listing.  You can also add/extend a 
timeout with "timeout n", where n is in seconds.
